Transforming talent acquisition with data and AI

About the company

A leading technology company faced rapid growth and increasing demands on its talent acquisition team. With hiring goals accelerating, recruiters were burdened by an incomplete tech stack, siloed workflows, and outdated data systems. These inefficiencies slowed down hiring and made it difficult to keep up with headcount targets.

How too much technology hampered recruiting

Recruiters and sourcers worked in separate systems with no centralized tools for collaboration. 

Data was siloed in a 12-year-old ATS and an adjacent CRM, requiring manual processes and time-consuming analysis through external tools. Teams frequently restarted searches from scratch in external platforms rather than leveraging existing internal databases, leading to duplication and inefficiencies. 

The need to hire fast, increase throughput, and reduce time-to-fill was urgent to meet the business's aggressive growth goals.

Strategically scale with precision search

By partnering with Findem, the talent team was able to consolidate tools, streamline processes, and automate data analysis. Starting with a managed service, the company quickly saw results, leading to deeper adoption of Findem's Talent Data Cloud.

Findem’s platform provided precise, attribute-based search capabilities, integrating seamlessly with the company's ATS. This approach enabled recruiters to source from enriched profiles across inbound and outbound channels, ensuring data was always up-to-date.

"Findem was the first vendor to listen to our problems and say, 'Let us find talent for you.' That’s how Findem became a strategic partner for us."

The partnership quickly evolved as Findem demonstrated measurable results, transforming talent workflows and hiring efficiency.

"The results speak for themselves. Our team increased throughput and reduced time-to-hire by 50% while improving candidate quality. Hiring managers consistently say 'yes' to more candidates."

Streamline engagement and nurture talent communities

With Findem's support, the company launched a new career site and built a talent community integrated into its CRM. This allowed recruiters to create a continuously enriched database of qualified candidates who could be nurtured until they were ready to move.

"Every industry has a finite limit of the people it can hire. By building a talent database with precisely searchable profiles, we gained a competitive edge and built brand recognition among top candidates."

Findem’s 3D data profiles enabled recruiters to capture and nurture ‘not ready yet’ talent while automatically keeping profiles updated. Recruiters could tag candidates, add them to shortlists, and track their journey through the talent funnel — all from a single platform.

Automate data analysis to elevate insights

Findem automated many of the manual processes that slowed recruiters down, giving them more time to focus on engaging candidates. Its analytics provided instant insights into talent attributes like skills, diversity, and network connections, empowering recruiters to make informed decisions without switching systems.

Recruiters had visibility into trusted data, making it easy to tell data-driven stories about candidates to hiring managers. Findem also automated outreach, nurturing campaigns, and analysis, enabling teams to focus on building relationships rather than wrestling with disconnected tools.

"Findem insights make it easy for recruiters to become data storytellers and advocate for top talent with hiring managers. No other platform offers this level of visibility and intelligence."

Measurable results and long-term impact

The partnership delivered substantial results:

• 50% less time to fill open roles
• 24% year-over-year headcount growth goals met
• 67% reduction in technology costs through consolidation

By reducing costs and improving efficiency, the talent team gained time to innovate and build stronger relationships with hiring managers. With AI-driven insights and automated workflows, recruiters could focus on what they do best — connecting with people.

Findem proved to be more than just a point solution. It became the foundation for a modern, data-driven talent acquisition strategy. The Talent Data Cloud unified talent management and acquisition, enabling recruiters to nurture prospects continuously and tap into an enriched talent pipeline.

As advancements in AI continue, the company expects to further streamline operations and create even more value for hiring managers. With Findem, recruiters are empowered to make smarter decisions, build stronger talent pipelines, and deliver results that impact the business.
